137th Guards Airborne Regiment tactical exercises

Photo report from one of the stages of 137th Guards Airborne Regiment, 106 Guards Airborne Division tactical exercises. The stage included over 800 personnel and 6 vehicles (BMD-2 and 2S9 Nona-S) parachute landing from IL-76MD aircrafts.
Air support was carried out by Su-24 from 7000th Guards Air Force Base in Voronezh and Mi-24 helicopters from 378th Air Force Base in Vyazma (former 440th Separate Helicopter Regiment)

Десантировать всю технику полка довольно затратно по финансам и времени, поэтому часть боевых машин уже ожидает на рубеже начала наступления. (It was very expensive and useless to drop all vehicles of the regiment, so they placed some of them on the line of assault)
